Numbers 27

1 And they drew near [the] daughters of Zelophehad [the] son of Hepher [the] son of Gilead [the] son of Makir [the] son of Manasseh of [the] clans of Manasseh [the] son of Joseph and these [were] [the] names of daughters his Mahlah Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.

Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph came near. These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

2 And they took their stand before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the leaders and all the congregation [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting saying.

They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the Tent of Meeting, saying,

3 Father our he died in the wilderness and he not he was in among the company which gathered on Yahweh in [the] company of Korah for in own sin his he died and sons not they belonged to him.

“Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin. He had no sons.

4 Why? will it be withdrawn [the] name of father our from among clan his for not [belonged] to him a son give! to us a possession in among [the] brothers of father our.

Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among the brothers of our father.”

5 And he brought near Moses case their before Yahweh.

Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

6 And he said Yahweh to Moses saying.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

7 Right [the] daughters of Zelophehad [are] speaking certainly you will give to them possession of an inheritance in among [the] brothers of father their and you will make pass over [the] inheritance of father their to them.

“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right. You shall surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brothers. You shall cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

8 And to [the] people of Israel you will speak saying a man if he will die and a son not [belongs] to him and you will make pass over inheritance his to daughter his.

You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies, and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

9 And if not [belongs] to him a daughter and you will give inheritance his to brothers his.

If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 And if not [belong] to him brothers and you will give inheritance his to [the] brothers of father his.

If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

11 And if not brothers [belong] to father his and you will give inheritance his to relative his near to him from own clan his and he will take possession of it and it will become for [the] people of Israel a statute of judgment just as he has commanded Yahweh Moses.

If his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his kinsman who is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it. This shall be a statute and ordinance for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.’”

12 And he said Yahweh to Moses go up to [the] mountain of the Abarim this and see the land which I have given to [the] people of Israel.

The LORD said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

13 And you will see it and you will be gathered to people your also you just as he was gathered Aaron brother your.

When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was gathered;

14 Since you rebelled against mouth my in [the] wilderness of Zin in [the] strife of the congregation to treat as holy me at the waters to eyes their they [were] [the] waters of Meribath Kadesh [the] wilderness of Zin.

because in the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, to honor me as holy at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)

15 And he spoke Moses to Yahweh saying.

Moses spoke to the LORD, saying,

16 Let him appoint Yahweh [the] God of the spirits of all flesh a man over the congregation.

“Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

17 Who he will go out before them and who he will come before them and who he will lead out them and who he will bring them and not it will be [the] congregation of Yahweh like sheep which not [belongs] to them a shepherd.

who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of the LORD may not be as sheep which have no shepherd.”

18 And he said Yahweh to Moses take for yourself Joshua [the] son of Nun a man whom a spirit [is] in him and you will lay hand your on him.

The LORD said to Moses, “Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.

19 And you will make stand him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation and you will commission him to eyes their.

Set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and commission him in their sight.

20 And you will put some of majesty your on him so that they may hear all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.

You shall give authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey.

21 And before Eleazar the priest he will stand and he will enquire for him by [the] judgment of the Urim before Yahweh on mouth his they will go out and on mouth his they will come he and all [the] people of Israel with him and all the congregation.

He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the LORD. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”

22 And he did Moses just as he had commanded Yahweh him and he took Joshua and he made stand him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

Moses did as the LORD commanded him. He took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

23 And he laid hands his on him and he commissioned him just as he had spoken Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.

He laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the LORD spoke by Moses.
